What were the most popular names of 2015? Noah for a boy and Emma for a girl, the Social Security Administration announced May 6.

Both names ranked first in 2014, too.

In fact, the top three names remained the same. Liam and Olivia, and Mason and Sophia all kept their 2nd and 3rd positions, respectively.

Ava beat Isabella for the no. 4 on the girls list.

For boys, there were no changes all the way down to no. 7, where James replaced Michael.

Emma has been a top choice for a girl’s name for more than a decade already. It suddenly jumped from 13th to 4th place in 2002 and has been in the top three since 2003.
